@ton I do realise you're being tongue-in-cheek, but some incidental validation of that by way of Google+ Communities.

I'd looked at 36,000 of the ~8 million Google+ Communities in early 2019, and plotted relationships between membership, posts, likes, shares, and comments.

For the most part, posting activity drove other activity. In particular, membership (or followers) was not especially relevant.

Visually, the tighter the clustering along a diagonal axis, the stronger the relationship.

Other factors also matter: quality, relevance, and some level of sharing content elsewhere and gaining traction. But yeah, post reasonably regularly.
